Strasbourg, France, Jan 14, 2011 / 02:11 pm (CNA).- A 2011-2012 school calendar published by the European Union has omitted Christian holidays, while continuing to note important Jewish and Muslim celebrations.

The European Union has printed three million copies of the calendar which will be distributed free-of-charge to students who request them.

Former French politician and government minister, Christine Boutin, wrote in her blog Jan. 11 that the calendar leaves out Christianity, the religion practiced or recognized as forming the cultural assembly of our old continent.

Boutin is a consultant for the Pontifical Council for the Family, as well as president of the Christian Democratic Party in France. She went on to lament that Christianity has fallen into the limbo of collective ignorance.

While Christian holidays such as Christmas and Easter are missing from the calendar's pages, days commemorating Sikh Baisakhi-Day, the Jewish Yom Kippur holiday, the Muslim holiday Aid-el-Kebir, remain in place, Boutin continued.

although the atheist world might want to (LIE) pretend that the holy trinity: God/Christ/HS don’t exist, He doesn’t pretend that His people don’t exist. That is like saying that it is dark outside in the middle of the day.... it doesn’t change the fact that it is light.

the current administration and universe is pretending that evil is good and good is evil.... it is an excercise in futility and an eternal death sentence upon them

While Christian holidays such as Christmas and Easter are missing from the calendar's pages, days commemorating Sikh Baisakhi-Day, the Jewish Yom Kippur holiday, the Muslim holiday Aid-el-Kebir, remain in place,

It’s not just fear of the Muzzies - Europe’s elite have been hankering for an excuse to push Christianity out of their daily lives - look for it to be illegal to be a Christian (Unless it is a state approved christianity) in the future as that is where it is ultimately heading.

Immediate remedial action is being taken to rectify the omission of certain Christian religious holidays from the Europa Diary 2010/2011. This was a regrettable error which will be addressed by a Corrigendum sent to all teachers who ordered this edition of the Diary in all EU Member States concerned. There was never an intention to discriminate against the Christian religion in this publication.

Any religion largely unchecked and seldom under scrutiny from the highest authority cannot be a religion of peace for very long. Had it not been for the European people, and their politicians, Islam would not have become a protected class, but would likely have had to get what just about every other one of us has to get. But in actuality, that is the Europeans’ choice, and that choice has consequences.
